099 polarizing comments
readx;? Jennifer's opinion can only represent herself, and in fact, at this time, the comments on "Batman: Year One" on the Internet are gradually becoming significantly polarized. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
I think this comic book is good, and I think it not only subverts Frank Miller's own superhero standards, but also one of the rare classics in the history of comics.
And for those who think this comic book is bad, the reason is relatively simple: this Batman, who was shot several times in the comics, is really qualified to be called a superhero?
In fact, having said that, readers like Jennifer, who are not usually familiar with superhero comics, are more likely to accept the setting of "Batman: Year One", while those who have entered the era of superheroes will feel extremely uncomfortable.
After all, this comic book that is too realistic, too dark, and too cruel is really very different from the previous superhero comics, even if Frank Miller reminds everyone in the preface, it still makes it difficult for some readers to accept.
This "unacceptable" eventually evolved into a wide range of resistance.
A netizen's comment on the forum was as follows: "From Superman to Wonder Woman, Frank Miller has perfectly shown everyone what kind of posture a superhero should have, but in "Batman: Year One", I saw deep malice, from the malice in Frank Miller's heart. He used this rich boy in a bat suit to break our yearning and fantasy of superheroes, making us fall from the clouds to the ground and get kicked a few times. Maybe Mr. Frank Miller wants to change and break through himself, but it is not a good thing to take too big a step. I was really sickened. ”
This comment was echoed by a lot of people.
"Agree upstairs. I feel like I bought a bunch of shit for $12.99, the most expensive pile of shit, the smelly pile of shit. ”
"How can such a person be a member of the Justice League when he strongly boycotts Batman: Year One and strongly demands that Frank Miller redraw Batman?
"Yes, yes, Batman, get out of the Justice League!"
"Have you all read Frank Miller's prologue, which says that Batman is the brain of the Justice League, that he can do anything, and that his allies are scared...... When I read the manga and think back to these words, I literally laughed until my stomach hurt...... Not to mention Superman, Aquaman can handle Mr. Wayne with one hand, okay?"
"Have you ever seen a superhero get hurt? And get shot with a pistol three times in the same comic! Three times, friends! It's ridiculous! I'd do better than him in a batsuit!"
"You're all talking about Batman, but I'm going to talk about the other two more important characters in Batman: Year One, James Gordon and Selena. You have a look at their setting, the scum who cheats on his wife when she is pregnant, and the strange woman who turns from prostitute to thief...... You can't do this for the sake of reality, Mr. Frank Miller, this is forcible!"
As the discussion continues to deepen, many details in "Batman: Year One" have been excavated, and as long as it makes them unhappy, they will spare no effort to lash out.
Meng Qi had long expected these opposing voices and resistance.
On Earth, before the publication of Batman: Year One, the superhero had gone through almost fifty years of development, and his image and setting had undergone many changes, he was once a ruthless avenger, once a detective in the dark, once a gentle parent, and a hero who ventured out in science fiction stories.
What's more, before the publication of "Batman: Year One" on Earth, there was an equally heavyweight, equally dark Batman comic "The Dark Knight Returns" to play the front.
It is for these reasons that "Batman: Year One" was regarded as a classic when it was first published.
In the world in which Meng Qi lives, the situation is very different, there is no foreshadowing, there is no warning, and the direct launch of this kind of subversive work will inevitably scare many people.
Despite this, Meng Qi is also convinced that there will be people who will recognize the value of "Batman: Year One".
However, in the beginning, these proponents analyzed and discussed from the perspective of comics.
"I don't think anyone who doesn't like Batman: Year One has fallen into a misunderstanding, even though it's caused by Mr. Frank Miller. Well, here, I'd just like to ask a few questions, who said that superheroes must have superpowers, that they must not get hurt, that they must not get hurt, that they must be tall and complete characters? I think that Mr. Frank Miller has brought something new to superhero comics, something that is worth affirming. And, more importantly, have you ignored such a wonderful story in this comic?"
"Those who oppose it are a bit overkill. I'm an amateur cartoonist, and I'm going to talk about my thoughts on Frank Miller's new comics. First of all, from the perspective of comics, this is a perfect comic, just four chapters, more than a hundred pages, containing a huge amount of information, every storyboard has an ulterior purpose, every frame is just right, so to speak, this comic has reached a certain extreme in terms of drawing technology. Secondly, the plot ...... Oh my God, I'm sure I've never read a comic with such a well-designed plot, the pacing is relaxed, the dialogue has a long-term meaning, and the most important thing is the white space, this comic has reached the point of invincibility, leaving a huge space for the reader's imagination, and I suspect that this comic may become Frank Miller's work of the highest level......"
"Trolls, put away your narrow gaze, isn't a dark, realistic story a superhero comic? Isn't a comic that doesn't satisfy your fantasies of flying away from the world a good comic? It's ridiculous for you. I'm sure it's a comic book that is transformative enough to bring about ......"
"It doesn't matter how you sprayed, I just watched it well. I just want to know what Batman has been doing for the last decade or so...... Will the Joker be Batman's enemy...... Selena has put on the uniform of a cat, what kind of person will she become in the future......"
"Don't worry, just look at the name of the comic and know that this is the origin of Batman comics, and I believe that the story after Frank Miller will not disappoint us!"
In fact, the readers of "Batman: Year One" supported by the Internet are still significantly more than the opponents, just because Frank Miller's previous comics almost never heard criticism, and this time there are a lot of them, but it is particularly obvious.
While the general reader is discussing the manga itself, some people have seen it even more far-reaching.
For example, the famous cartoonist and collector Stan Lee.
This old man has been paying attention to Frank Miller's works since the publication of "Superman", and he also said things like "Thank you Frank Miller for leading us into a new era of comics", and the name of "Father of Superheroes" that resounded throughout the United States was also the first to come out of this mouth.
Stan Lee's post is still on the Redit forum, still short, but it's weighty.
"I'm happy, excited and lucky to see Frank Miller pull off his breakthrough in my lifetime. As I have said, in the hands of Mr. Miller, comics already have a tendency to become graphic novels, and are gradually becoming a complex product between literature, comics, and art. ”
"I used to think that I would wait a long time, but I was wrong, the father of superheroes never disappoints. Mr. Frank Miller's "Batman: Year One" perfectly shows the new form of comics, a new possibility, and greatly enriches and expands the connotation of comics. ”
"This is a graphic novel that no longer tells the legend of the gods, but describes the story of man, this is a very realistic literary work, this is a master of color and storyboarding, this is a work of art in the true sense of the word. ”
"This is one of the most important milestones in the history of Commonwealth Comics. ”
"Thank God and Frank Miller for ......"
Stan Lee analyzes and affirms the achievements and value of Batman: Year One on a deeper level, and his position in the comic book industry has made his views recognized by a large number of people.
In fact, not only Stan Lee, but also many magazines, and not only comic book magazines, but also the special comic book "Batman: Year One" are also being followed.
Having said that, it's hard to get an accurate definition of such a literary, specific comic, and even if there are keen people who see the value of the comic, even if there are many people who share Stan Lee's views, they won't necessarily be the first to eat the crab and speak out.
However, with Stan Lee taking the lead, the media immediately began to stir up, all kinds of praise began to pour in, and the voices of the previous opponents were instantly drowned out.
And what pushed all this to a climax was a tweet from the organizing committee of the "Comet Award".
"After the ruling of the organizing committee, "Batman: Year One" will be substituted into this year's Comet Award selection!"
